Lake Street Dive - Call Off Your Dogs Lyrics






Hello
I'm not gonna bite you
Just want a light
You got me wishing that I never said
Hello
Don't wanna fight you
I don't got a right to
This is what I get for being civilized
I apologize
I'll let you go in a minute
If you want a goodbye
It's not what I want to say
Took my salutations and threw 'em away

Call off your dogs
Give someone a call
I know there's something wrong with the limits
We got turned around, but we could spin it
Call off your dogs
What's with the wall?
If we're strong, we can win it
One word can begin it
Hello

I got a right to call you, baby
I got a right to say hello
Remember when you used to like me baby?
And it wasn't that long ago
This is what I get for being civilized
I apologize
And I'll let you go in a minute
If you want a goodbye
It's not what I want to say
You took my salutations and threw them away

So call off your dogs
Give someone a call
I know there's something wrong with the limits
We got turned around, but we could spin it
Call off your dogs
What's with the wall?
If we're strong, we can win it
One word can begin it
Hello
[repeat]

    Listening to Lake Street Dive’s music surely boosts my seratonin levels!

  12. P.... F....

    She's hot news but the band is estinky

  13. M.... N....

    Pretty good editing, but still obviously more than one take, spliced together.

  14. j.... ....

    They got funk and i love it!

  15. M.... T....

    October 2019 and I still listening!

  19. K.... A....

    Bridget Kearney is such a great bassist, singer, and songwriter. She seems to write all their hits" Bad Self Portraits", "You go down smooth", "Good Kisser" and this song. Check out her solo stuff such as "Wash up". The whole band is Good as well!

  20. e.... ....

    Rachael has an incredibly powerful voice with excellent control and precision.

  21. C.... ....

    That's it... I'm ordering a subwoofer so I can hear more Bridget ;)

  22. r.... ....

    🌞🌎

  23. P.... P....

    They were at Lexington, ky about 60 miles from me, but standing room only. Not for me. This is one fine group with great music, harmonies, they are in perfect sync. I really hope to see them, have two CD’s love listening to them.maybe they will get to louisville, ky someday we have a lot of nice theater ‘s.

  24. G.... F....

    The smooth transitions from 4/4 to 3/4 is awesome!! Great job!!

  25. J.... E....

    That bass looks hard to play. You probably have to sort of dominate the instrument as well as learn to elicit the music from it.

  26. D.... l....

    If I wasn't married....

  27. J.... W....

    conflict

  28. T.... P....

    the best see them live ,blows your mind

    You guys are crazy talented ! Pitch is amazing. Mega chops! And best of all fun !

  31. h.... r....

  32. P.... D....

    Love this group

  33. S.... M....

    Amazing!!!!!!

  34. P.... P....

    The more I listen to the group the more addictive it becomes. Just great hoping I can see them in concert.

    P.... P....

    They're pretty good in concert, I seen em open for Amos Lee. Sweet show

  35. h.... r....

    beautiful lady with a beautiful voice

  36. 0.... ....

    Classy, very, very Classy.

  37. t.... ....

    I've been listening to this for three years now, and I'm STILL trying to figure out the meter. Such talent to be able to swing it like this on the fly throughout the song.

  38. D.... t....

    Why we don't hear music on radio like that,,,, ohh Grande is on the radio...yeeeeehhhh…I think I need to start my own radio station...seriously...ohh, the girl with the bass is super hot!!!!!!!!!!!!

    D.... t....

    She rocks that thing

  39. g.... f....

    Rachel Price is fantastic

  40. K.... L....

    Love it ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💜

  41. h.... ....

    Such an awesome song... and band.

  42. J.... M....

    Bridgette be bangin that bass!

  43. J.... M....

    amazing. and y'all look good doing it...

  44. C.... C....

    Love that bass. I see some more recent stuff that shows an electric bass guitar but that upright is kick ass.

  45. j.... k....

    So much talent, and so much class!

  46. J.... Z....

    love her voice

  47. c.... b....

    Just say yes. This group is necessary.

  48. J.... D....

    2:35 THAT FILL THO

  49. o.... b....

    Ok , I'm sick of saying this, the best band since violent femms, who is this chick with the beat up Bass? Drummers like that don't grow on trees, also the guitarist can probably play anything . Oh yeah and Lazer jeans , super star best singer since Freddie. Hot dam hot times. I just took all my clothes off.

  50. E.... C....

    Bridgett has DREAMY eyes, and she works her fingers to the bone on that BASS!

  51. E.... C....

    By the way. My compliments to your bassist, your drummer, and your guitarist. You're all top flight! Thank you so very much Rachel!

  52. E.... C....

    Dear Rachel, I've somehow been given a new lease on life. I can't really explain it, but Your Voice and your performances have helped me in a way that can only be described as 'a miracle'

  53. G.... K....

    Extraordinary balance between rythm section and harmony. The Bass goes through my guts, passes the heart and then off to the brain.

  54. t.... ....

    What a great sound this band has got! Have you been Live at Daryl's House yet?!? If not, you need to get there! This band would probably give Daryl Hall a nocturnal emission! Aurally as well as physically if you know what I mean. If my ears could have nocturnal emissions it would be There's Something About Mary around my house 24 7 365 or at least whenever I put on Lake Street Dive! It would also be an ungodly mess!

  55. o.... b....

    I got a right to call you baby

  56. o.... b....

    They are all so good I just freak about the drummer but then the bassist and guwetutar and Rachel arrgh. I spelled guitar wrongs on pouroise

  57. B.... B....

    I tripped across a cover of "Can't Find My Way Home" which I loved. Then another Lake Street Dive tune and another and I am frickin' hooked. I've been listening to them almost nonstop for days. I'm obsessed, can't get enough of this talent. Every single one of these people are fucking amazing. Love their vibe. The future of great music is alive and well! No fake bullshit here. Turn it up!!!!!!!!!

  58. o.... b....

    Everybody should call out their dogs when I hear this song I just want to dance and jam out and be happy . So call off your dogs , man, it's like not cool

  59. o.... b....

    Thee's guys make me want to dance a joyful dance and forgive myself

  60. J.... E....

    Drummer looks like Nick from New Girl. Singer looks like Carly Simon. Bassist looks like a cross between Patti Smith and the Two Drunk Chicks girl...and guitarist looks like the guy from the commercial for car sales..."webesadeebo"Caresense.com commercial. Great band...as I've posted before. Thx. Utube n WXPN. Love this band.

  61. T.... M....

    This is one tight ass band man.

  62. C.... T....

    "Call off your dogs" is what Hillary said to Obama at the beginning of the server investigation. Needless to say he didn't.....

  63. o.... b....

    I love that little patch of worn away wood next to the bassist hand

  64. o.... b....

    This band is so good it kinda hurts me.

  65. J.... N....

    The more I watch this, the more boring the lead singer gets, and the more interesting the bass player is

  66. P.... C....

    Wonderful bass work

  67. r.... ....

    I can only echo what others have said. You folks are hugely talented. Great musicianship and vocals. Especially love the bass line in this one. Awesome really. So much fun to listen to your music. I am a new fan.

  68. J.... P....

    In the studio where Hendrix built ( and briefly recorded before leaving us so soon) ;)

  69. A.... ....

    The most toe-tappiest song of the year. Just found it and played it 20x this week easily.

  70. T.... L....

    This is 1st time I listened to them. I'm a 71 year old Republican hippie. I'm just spellbound. Good stuff! What an alluring girl. An old man needs this kind of trance in this crazy world. Thank you, sweet people, please don't ever go away.

  71. S.... P....

    Like butter

  72. E.... M....

    Yeah! Stalker... Stop being a dog. And tell your devious pals to GO AWAY! ENVY AND ITS UGLY HEAD

  73. T.... O....

    A band with ROOTS...AND NOT AFRAID TO SHOW THEM TO ONE AND ALL....Amen....These guys are exceptional...they have the chutzpah of some of the great bands from the 1960's.

  74. N.... V....

    Me gustan todas sus interpretaciones, y debo decir que tú, la cantante eres hermosa, saludos, y gracias por hacer y compartir música, éxitos!!!

  75. B.... T....

    I can't even overstate how much joy this song has given me.

  76. P.... M....

    Excellent!!!!

  77. K.... L....

    I just love your band

  78. g.... ....

    So good.

  79. P.... ....

    I finally got to see them live last Friday, and O M G ! Easily one of the best shows I have ever seen !

  80. B.... J....

    I feel like we get to watch the “perfect take,” that never gets recorded, every time they stand next to each other. Harmonic

  81. D.... S....

    I wanna know, if you are a good kisser. humbly so...........

  82. D.... S....

    Muito bom!!

  83. D.... K....

    I'm willing to take a million dollar chance on you. Call me. 1 780-4247773

  84. S.... W....

    Man, no one told me about this group! Plus this song feels so nostalgic, even though it's new to me.

  85. R.... M....

    This Band is VERY , VERY Great I wish they would come to Mansfield , Pa. !

  86. b.... ....

    Less perfection please...go to the meaning of music...no more music schools too much...

  87. J.... M....

    Fantástic 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼!!!!

  88. D.... S....

    Scarlett Johansson,milla jovovich,andjessica beil ,in one with a voice!hell whats not to like.70s jeans rock too.go girl!

  89. K.... V....

    How these guys stay an internet secret is beyond me. They are so damn good!

  90. b.... ....

    Hadn't listened to this in a while, luv it, it kicks such serious ass !

  91. A.... F....

    I love LSD ( Lake Street Dive) but whoever was on the soundboard needs to be fired immediately...seriously. The levels on the drums are wayyyyyy too much and not nearly enough vocals for about the first minute or so ( if not, Rachel, intonation is very much needed ). Please re-engineer this track...please.... (I've been a fan of LSD for about 7 years and I love to play their music loud as shit when I have to top off my Jeep!) But seriously the sound engineering on this track is awful!

    Edit: After a couple days I regret the harsh language that I had used but in context I think my constructive criticism still stands....

  92. m.... ....

    That's tight!

  93. V.... ....

    Seriously still better then any other band of today !

  94. V.... ....

    YOU guys have got to be kidding me ! ❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍🙌🙌👏👏🙏🙏🙋🙋🙋🔥🔥🔥🔥💊💊💊🔥🔥😳👍👍👏🙌💃💃💆❤❤💙💜💚💛

  95. t.... f....

    Very nice !

  96. j.... g....

    gooood job.
